Gee, was i proven wrong quickly. Everything about this product is amazing ( and I say that with all honesty) . I can tell it was  thoughtfully designed and  even has a nice aesthetic. 

This week I sit down with Mallory Chapman. She’s a kick ass entrepreneur in the wellness industry. She has brought surfing to us landlocked Calgarians and wins us over with her amazing outlook on life and positive attitude.

About 3 weeks ago, Nick and I went for a walk in a neighbourhood that we love and have dreamt about living in. As we walked, we dreamed of buying a home in inner city Calgary where we would be  able to walk and bike everywhere.

Josie is a fellow Canadian hairstylist who I’ve admired since joining Instagram. We’ve texted back and forth, and I am so pumped that we got to sit down and chat. She does a killer bleach and tone and has the most hilarious sense of humour I’ve seen. Listen while Josie and I chat about business, dealing with bad reviews, and our biggest challenges with owning a Salon.

Rarely are there shorts cut to success, and even if it appears as so, often times there are years of trial and error that you haven’t witnessed. I’ve learned that timing can be everything, and sometimes it’s just not my time. And even though it may be someone else’s time doesn’t take anything away from me.

I interview my client Jessica. When she was just 6 years old her Mom packed up her and her two sisters and left an abusive marriage. They came to Calgary where they lived in a women’s shelter for 3 months. Her story is powerful and full of courage and bravery.

It affirmed again why I am in this industry. It’s so much more than just hair. It’s about connections and community and to have women know their worth and value.
